Hi, Monica. Until Bookshare comes up with a technological solution to the chat room not being completely accessible to everyone involved with Bookshare, I would be willing to transcribe at least a summary of the advice and suggestions given at the chat room sessions if Brian Collins is no longer present at the chat sessions to insult people.


If you want past recordings and if your computer will take them, you might ask someone to send you their sound files of the chat room sessions. This would take a long time sending and receiving for both parties because sound files are so huge. Compression can sometimes compromise their quality.

Hi. I wondered, since my computer does not have Windows 2000, (I need a new
one because I am running win 98) could I get a transcript of the bookshare
discussions that have occurred in the past as well as all future ones. I am
hoping to get a new computer at latest, by the New Year.  It's been an
arduous process but I hope to have that as my Christmas present.  Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Monica
